Canada to License Companies to Grow and Sell Marijuana

The business of Marijuana will be launched this week by the conservative government of Canada. Health Canada is going to license prominent marijuana farms. This will allow a free marijuana market to be available which will serve about 37,000 people. The number promises to grow up to 450,000 in the next 10 years. Around 150 companies already applied for a license. Of these, two companies already received the license from the government.

The government also determined the price of medical marijuana which will only be served to patients who are legally approved to receive the same. A gram is going to cost $7.60 in 2014. However, there is a possibility that the price may go down to $3 once the market gets more competitive. According to government predictions, the newly born industry is going to fetch $1.3 billion as revenue every year.

Now that the weed has been legalized in Canada, would companies make use of celebrities to endorse their products? Several prominent personalities admitted that they smoked marijuana at some point in their life while some others openly admit that they regularly take it at present.

Here are five famous and influential personalities who admitted to smoking weed:
